WAR DEPAHTMi;"NT. Downing Street, June IT, 1812. Major Carrie, Ail de-Camp !•> Lieut.-General Sit Rowland Hill, arrived this evening al Lord Ba.ttilii-st's Oflice wlti,li the following is an exiract,'addressed to the Earl of Liverpool, by General (he Earl of Welling- ton, dated Fuente Guinaldo, 28th May, IS 12. WH I.N IfvtuRd that the enemy had retired from (his frontier-, on the 24th of April, I directed Lieutenant-General Sir Rowland Hill to carry into execution the operations against the enemy's jtostfi and establishments at the passage of the Tagii s at Alma rea. Owimc to (he necessary preparations for this expedition, Lieut. Gen. Sir Rowland Hill could Dot begin his march, with part, of the 2d division of infamry (III the 12ill illsi. 411(1 he attained the olyects ()I' his expedition on the 19th, by taking by storm Foi ls Napoleon and Ragusjv, and the telcsdu-pollt and other works, by which the ene- my's bridge was guarded, by forts and works, and the enemy's bridge and es- tablishments, and by tat iug- their magazines, and lfies, an two hundred and ilfty-uiue prisoners, and IS pieccs of cannon. 1 have the honour to enclose Lieut.-Geri Sir Rowland Hill's report of this-brilliant exploit: and I beg to draw your Lor! ship's at tent ion to 'he difficulties with which he ha I to .ontend as well from the nature of the country,as from the works whteh the enemy had constructed, and to the ahility and ellaraeteristie qualities displayed by Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Mill, in preserving the Jjue) and confining himself to the object chalked out by his instructions,notwithstanding the vari- ous obstacles Opposed o his progress. i have no tiring to add to Lieut.-Gen. Sir R. Hill's report of the conduct of the officers and troops under his command, excepting to express my concurrence in illl he says in their praise.— Too much cannot he said of the brave oOicers and troops who took by storm, without (he ass;u« tance of cannon, such woiks as the "enemy's fort-s of file good order, and defended iy of C¿¡IIIICI! j Your Lordship is aware that 'he road of Al- (IIII) g""(i tlf)i- cition across t.;e Tagus, and lro,si the Tagus to f he Gitan ;aua, below Toledo. All the permanent bridges below the bridge of Arzobispo havebeefi destroyed iitss-iiIy, fhe war, hy one or other of the Belligerents, and the enemy have found it impos- sible to repair 'hem. Their bridge, wtiich Lieut-, Gen. Sir Rowland Hill h.^s destroyed, was one of bodts; and I doubt their having the means of it. The cnmniuuiearion-i from the hi idges of Arzol.ispo aiid Talavrta to the Gv;a- diana, are very diHiculf. ami cannot be deemed military communications for a large army. The has beer; to ciit off the shortest and best romniunica-' I ion bet een tb<2 armies of the South and of Portugal. Nearly about the time that theenenvy's troops reported in my last dispatch to have mo-ed into the Condado de Niebla, marched from Seville, it is reported that &1101 her c()!¡.;i¡1erahle delac\h- meni under Marshal Souit went towards the blockade of Cadiz, and it Was expected that an- other atiack was to be made upon I'ariifa.i I' a[)pears, however, that the enemy received early intelligence of Kir Rowland Hill's march.— The troops under the of Gen. Drouet, made a movement on their lefr, and arrived upon the Guadiana at Medeliin, on the 17: h inst. aj»d oiiihe 18th, a detachment of the cavalry under tite cot,-iii, it(] of (fie s.'tfile (ir(,te 'iry, as far as Ribera, (he piquets of Lieuf.-Genera1! Sir William Erskine's division of cavalry, which had remained in Lower Eslre nadura, with a part of the xd division of infantry, and Lieut.-General fiamilton's division of infantry. Marshal Souit likewise moved from the blockade of 'Cadi-js to- wards Cordova and the troops which had march- edfrom Seville into the Condado de Niebla, re- turned to Seville nearly-about tht same Mate; but Lieut. Gen. Sir Rowland Hill had attained his object on the 19th, and had returned to Truxillo, and was beyolld all risk of being attacked by a superior force on the 21st. The eiiett)N'-s troops have retired into--Cordova. Since fhe accounts have been received-of Lieut. General Sir Rowland Hill's expedition, the ene- my s tioops have likewise been put in motion in Old and New Castile, the 1st division under Gen. Foy.and a. division of the Army ol the Centre under General D'Arnugnac, crossed the Tagus by the bridge of Ar/obispo on the2'1 s;, and have moved by the Toad of Deleytosa, to relieve or withdraw the post which still remained in the tower of Mirahete. The whole of the army of Portugal have like- wise made a movement to their left'; the 2d divi- sion oil the Tagus, and Marshal Marmont's head-quarters have been removed frotn Sala- manca to Fontieros. By a letter from Sir-Howard Douglas, of the 24th instant, 1 learn that (he troops under Gen. Bonnet, alter hilvill IlliIcle two plundering excur- sions towards the frdntiers of Gallicia, had again entered the Asfttrias, ami was on the 17th in pos« session of Oviedo, Gijou, and Grado. In fhe mean (line the tmops under Gen. Men- d-xahei are in possession of the town of liur,os, the enemy still keeping the castle; and in all (tat's ol the COHiiiry the boldness and activity of toe chiefs ot the Guerillas are incivasii.g; and 'heir operations against the enemy are becoming :ai'y more important. I'torward this dhpatch by Major Carrie, Aide- de-Camp to Lieutenant-General Sir Rowland Hid, whom I beg lean: to recommend to your Lord- -dvip s notice and protection. Truxillo, May 21, 1812. MY LORD—I have the satisfaction to acquaint your Lordship, hat your inst ruci urns relative to lie capture and destruction of he enemy's works at Aiiiiaiaz have been most fully carried into cifecf hy a detachment of troops under my or- ders, which marched from Almendralejo on the I i'.e bi i;lge was, as your Lordship knows, pro- tected by strong works thrown up by i!.e French on holh sides of the river, antl furfhei covered on 'he southern side by. file castle and redoubts of Mirahete about a league off, comniaiiding the piss of that name, through which runs the load to Madnd, being the only one passable for car- riages of any description by which the bridge can be a pproached. The works on the lefr hank or the river were a fete-du-pont, built of masonry, and strongly en- trenched, and on the high ground above it, a huge and well-constructed fort, called Napoleon with an inferior entrenchment, and loop-holed tower in its cent re. This fort contained nine pieces of cannon, with a garrison of hetween four.ind five hundred men. There being on the opposite side of (he river, on a height immediately above the hiidge, a very complete fort recently con- strueted, which flanked and added much to its defence. On the morningofthe 16th, (he troops reached Jaraicejo, and the same evening marched in three columns the left column, commanded hy Lienr. Geneial Chowuie( 28th and 34 th regiments, under Colonel Wilson, and the 6th Portuguese ( a a- dores) toward, the castle of Mirahete ffl(. i-,I)t column, under Major-General Howard (50th,7lsf, and 92d regiments), which I accompanied myself to a pass in the Mountains, through which a most diflicult and circuitous foot-path leads hy the village ol Romangurdo to the bridge; theeentre c. dumn, under Major-General Long, (6th and 18th Por'ugttese infantry, under Colom-i Ash- worth, and 13fh light diagooits. with the artil- ler\), advanced upon the high road to the pass of Mirahete. The two flank columns were provided with (ad- ders, and it was intended that either of them should proceed to escalade (he forts asainsi wnich they were directed, had circumstances .proved fa- vourable the difficulties, however, which each I)a(i to eti-,ottitter on its IIIilrd1 "ere such, that it was impossible for then) to reach their respective points before day-break; 1 judged it besi, there- fore, as there was no louger a possibility of sur- a
